Chapter 652 Women's Club
"I agree with Fifth Sister's words. This young lady is indeed closer to her mother than the young man."
After all, once the young man grows up, there will be differences between men and women, and he will eventually need to maintain a certain distance from his mother. The young lady doesn't need to be so discreet.
However, it must be said that whether it's a young man or a young woman, they are the same if they are taught well.
Aunt Guo agreed with Li San Niang's words and nodded in agreement, since Aunt Guo had no daughters, only sons.
"Come, remove this small table, let me rub Fifth Sister's belly."
During the palpation, Li Sanniang had an X-ray vision and found the patient to be very healthy. Li Sanniang said, "You're doing very well, so don't worry. In another month, you can ask me to come over and do a routine check-up for you."
I call this a prenatal checkup, which is a checkup before delivery.
With prenatal checkups, if any problems are discovered before delivery, it's easier to intervene. My sister-in-law's condition was discovered during one of my prenatal checkups.
Li San Niang briefly mentioned the cesarean section she had performed on Li Da Sao, in order to put Guo Wu Niang at ease. Since sitting down, she had noticed that Guo Wu Niang was worried that she would not be able to give birth to a healthy child, probably because of her previous illness.
The fact that Li San Niang performed a cesarean section on Li Da Sao was naturally kept secret; only the Jiang and Li families knew about it.
Upon hearing what Li San Niang said, Guo Wu Niangzi and Aunt Guo were both wide-eyed with surprise.
"This... this person can actually survive after a cesarean section to remove the child?"
Li San Niang then explained: "To be more precise, it should be called cesarean section, as this 'palace' is the womb where the woman carries the fetus."
She did survive; my sister-in-law is very lucky and has a strong will.
However, it's best to avoid this kind of surgery if possible.
I'm telling you this so that Fifth Sister won't worry too much. When I took your pulse just now, I noticed that you were a little restless. Although it's not to the point where you need to take medicine, I suppose you're having trouble falling asleep.
Do you constantly think about what's going on with the baby in your womb?
When Aunt Guo saw the expression on Guo Wu Niang's face, she knew that what Li San Niang said was true.
Aunt Guo said to Guo Wu Niang with a hint of anger, "Why do you have so many thoughts, child?"
Have you grown distant from your aunt? You didn't even tell me, you child, really…
Guo Wu Niang looked as if her thoughts had been exposed, and looked at her aunt Guo guiltily, saying coquettishly, "Aunt, I... I don't want you to worry about me."
"Fifth Sister, please don't worry. Your pregnancy seems to be going very well. There's no need to fret."
Having confirmed the health of the fetus, Li San Niang's most important task for today's visit is now complete.
At lunchtime, Li San Niang, along with Lu Zhu'er and Qiu Xiang, enjoyed a proper meal with Guo Wu Niang and Aunt Guo. The food prepared by the cooks of this wealthy family was naturally much better than that prepared by the Li family, and Li San Niang and Lu Zhu'er ate quite a bit.
After the meal, the group sat around a round table, chatting while drinking jujube tea.
"How's your midwifery school going? And is the women's support association you mentioned before still short of funds?"
Upon hearing this, Li San Niang became interested and looked at Guo Wu Niang with a beaming smile: "Does Wu Niang want to make a donation?"
We have always welcomed donations.
And rest assured, every penny of this money will be used for the women who come to us for help. We will review the accounts every quarter, make copies, and send them to each donor.
It will also be posted publicly in the main hall of our association.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Guo asked, "What is this post about?"
After hearing Li San Niang's explanation, Aunt Guo said, "It's like the rich families in the village paving roads and building bridges; they can get a good reputation for it."
Li San Niang nodded, agreeing with Aunt Guo's words.
Yes, that is indeed the intention.
In my opinion, someone who can donate real money naturally deserves such a good reputation.
The women and their families who were rescued will surely remember the kindness of the donors.
"Rest assured, we are a legitimate alliance registered directly under the Jingzhao Prefecture, and we treat everyone fairly, young and old."
With Li San Niang's strong recommendation, Guo Wu Niangzi, who was already worried about her unborn child and wanted to make donations at Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries, started to consider it after hearing what Li San Niang said.
“Since this is to help women and mothers, I will donate one hundred taels as a blessing for my son.”
Aunt Guo was not to be outdone; she immediately offered to donate one hundred taels of silver as well.
Li San Niang immediately stood up and bowed formally to Guo Wu Niang and Aunt Guo, saying, "I thank you both. You are both kind-hearted. I will definitely send the accounts for the next quarter to your residence for your review."
For a family like the Guo family, one hundred taels of silver is neither a lot nor a little.
Li San Niang knew that Guo Wu Niang and Aunt Guo had donated the money out of respect for her, but even so, it was real money, and Li San Niang was still very grateful.
Guo Wu Niang and Aunt Guo never expected that a mere hundred taels of silver would elicit such a grand gesture from Li San Niang. From this point on, the two women began to take the matter of the Women's Assistance Association seriously.
Li San Niang, who had sat down again, smiled and said to the two of them, "Actually, I've always wanted to open a women's club."
Faced with Guo Wuniang and Aunt Guo's doubts about the "women's club", Li Sanniang sat up straight and gave them a proper explanation.
"Because I am a female doctor, I am always in contact with women who come to me for treatment. In fact, many women's diseases are caused by not taking good care of themselves during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum confinement."
The women's support association that I established earlier was originally intended to help ordinary women.
To be honest, although the women's club I'm thinking of opening is useful to all women, not all women have the time, energy, or money to access these services.
My clients are women like you who have some financial means.
My women's club is designed to help women take care of themselves and minimize the harm of pregnancy and childbirth.
Another reason, to be honest, is that I need money to maintain the women's support association.
To put it simply, I'm essentially earning money from wealthy women through my services, and then using that money to help women from ordinary families.
Guo Wu Niang hadn't thought of anything yet, but Aunt Guo, who was of a similar age, understood what Li San Niang meant.
"What Third Sister said does have some of the feel of those chivalrous knights who robbed the rich to help the poor, as described in storybooks."
After pausing for a moment, Li San Niang chuckled twice and replied to Aunt Guo's words, "It really does look somewhat like her."
However, these are all services with clearly marked prices; I'm not robbing people.
"Oh? Third Miss, tell me what kind of...services you offer?"
"Yes, I call this service."
Women who are young at their first childbirth or have had frequent pregnancies often experience problems such as urinary incontinence and back pain; "this area," Li Sanniang pointed to her chest, "has loose skin; some also have hair loss."
Some more serious conditions include uterine prolapse or menstrual irregularities.
